Several in vivo studies have shown that EPO can reduce renal
injury in various animal models (Tables 1 and 2).

Among many acute renal injury models, ischemiareperfusion injury is the most extensively investigated. Although
there is some heterogeneity in the protocols for inducing
ischemiareperfusion injury and in the EPO treatment
schedules, these studies provide an excellent evidence for
renoprotective effect of EPO against acute renal injury.
A recent study has demonstrated that EPO could protect
the kidney from chronic renal injury as well. Long-term
therapy of low-dose darbepoetin could reduce mortality, renal
dysfunction, and renal scarring in rats with the remnant
kidney model (5/6 nephrectomy).9 This renoprotection is not
associated with erythropoiesis effect, as hemotocrit in the
darbepoetin-treated group is similar to the saline-treated
group. Another report using standard dose darbepoetin
similarly provides renoprotection in remnant kidney model,
but occurs in association with increasing hematocrit.10 Studies
in chronic cyclosporine nephropathy and doxorubicininduced cardiorenal injury have also revealed renoprotection
by EPO.11,12 Recent preliminary reports have also found that
EPO could effectively reduce tubulointerstitial injury in the
Dahl salt-sensitive rats fed with low-salt diet and in unilateral
ureteral obstruction model.13,14
Taken together, we can conclude with reasonable confidence that EPO has cytoprotective effects on both erythroid
cells and non-erythroid cells expressing EPO receptors.
